How Darby’s first 4th of July parade started….

And how it is going now as it is on a rain delay.. ⛈️🐶

Had to get this one in early today with all the activities. 4th of July 5K run in the books and the heat but looks like we might get rained out later today 🤨

Kind of a last min run as I didn’t even have the right shoes on. However, since I dropped off our stuff for the Edina Parade I decided to run the route to see how long it really was.

Should NOT have run in these shoes 🤦‍♂️

Stroll around Clear Lake and Maplewood Park in what was some warm weather with lots of sun out. Glad to be done and jumped in the pool with the kids after. Now after sitting for a while my legs are feeling it maybe I need to drink some more water.

The coffee from the hotel got the job done but I am glad to be home this morning for some of my own again. ☕️

It was a super humid one out there today at 90% before 730am 🥵. I took the trail the other way to explore some more before we leave today.

Guess I shouldn’t go outside this afternoon… 😬😳🔥

Foggy morning or maybe foggy and smoky. Found a some interesting places to explore around the Fox River.

Something tells me this coffee is not going to be amazing… 🤨 ☕️

Early morning Chicago exploration. Not used to seeing so many other people out running at this hour. At times I felt like I was in a race.

Another beautiful day to run along the Harbor and I decided to make it a little longer by circling Back Cove.

24 hrs later and a whole new look of the harbor. Enjoyed the sun out today on this early but doesn’t seem as early run.

Misty morning harbor run. Needed to get out early today before a day full of meetings.

I have again spent probably more time than I should have for no reason at all updating a couple webpages that no one goes to or probably maybe only stumbles upon once in a blue moon. 🤷‍♂️

Out and back to Bug Light! It felt good running after what seems like a day of travel with a little work from time to time.

Thanks to Delta for free fast WiFi so I could finally find some time to mess around and create a website monitor page for some of my random sites. Thanks to @neatnik as always for creating awesome little projects like Website Monitor.

Father’s Day 4 miles was all I could muster on a really humid hot day. If only the rain in those clouds would have come.

Planned on enjoying a morning run while the family was asleep but when I got up at 6 it rained until 10. So the next best thing was making some breakfast bagel sandwiches for everyone. 😄

Weather held out and it cooled down a little bit so we could have a nice fire going tonight… 🔥

Friday night fire…
